The Melilla border fence
The Melilla border fence is a border barrier between Morocco and the Spanish city of Melilla. Constructed by Spain, its stated purpose is to stop irregular immigration, in other words, to stop people from Africa or other continents who are looking forward to improving their standard of living in Europe. Achieving this goal is not easy for them as the three fences to jump were built in steel, barbed wire and razor blades and one of them is 6 m height. Furthermore, Morocco government is building a fourth border fence (April 2015). Melilla border fence’s perimeter is 12 km. Although this visit is not promoted by the Autonomous city of Melilla some tourists take a taxi to see the border fence.
